  • Better for travelers who prefer suite-style space and beach days
  • Strong fit for families who do not need extensive on-site programming

If kids’ programming and separate pool zones matter, The Ritz-Carlton is the safer choice; if your family wants a calmer boutique base, West Bay Club may feel easier.
